God's Economics:
Ex:22:25:
If you lend money to any of my people that is poor by you, you shall not
be to him as a usurer, neither shall you lay upon him usury.
[26] If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge,
return it to him by sunset, [27] because his cloak is the only covering
he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? When he cries out to
me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
EX 23:6 "Do not deny justice to your poor
people in their lawsuits. [7] Have nothing to do with a false
charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will
not acquit the guilty.
EX 23:8 "Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and
twists the words of the righteous.
EX 23:9 "Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be
aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.

Ex:23:11: But the seventh year you shall
let it (fields) rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may
eat: and whatever they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like
manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your oliveyard.
EX 23:12 "Six days do your work, but on the
seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and
the slave born in your household, and the alien as well, may be
refreshed.
Comment from the Webmaster: I
think there are things to be reflected upon in these verses regardless
of your political affliliation or favorite economic theory.
